Chapter 203 - 203 Big Brother’s Reminder (Second Update Requesting Monthly Tickets)_1



“Director Nie, where will we live after the relocation?”

“Director, after we migrate, what will we eat? Will we still have land?”

“Director, can we still live together in the future? I can’t bear to leave my old neighbors that I’ve lived beside for so many years.”

All the questions were related to migration, yet none seemed unwilling to relocate. This trend satisfied Nie Zhenbang. It’s always said that people are reluctant to leave their hometowns and this was the most concerning aspect of migration. If anyone were unwilling to move, it would impact the entire execution of the plan. After all, they couldn’t just abandon one or two households here.

This moment was exciting for Zhu Lufeng, who hadn’t anticipated such a plan. A mass migration with settlements near the development zone was a grand scheme. Zhu Lufeng wasn’t naive; he instantly realized the tremendous benefits this held. In fact, once the migration was complete, the people of Gemu Township would immediately escape their fate of poverty.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang stepped forward, raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, then loudly announced, “My fellow townsmen, please calm down. Detailed migration measures and plans are being meticulously arranged by the county committee and the government. As soon as we have the results, we will notify you immediately. Here, allow me to reassure everyone. This migration will see all your houses constructed uniformly by the government. After migration, each household will surely receive a certain amount of reserved land to fully meet your daily needs. The last principle: the migration of Gemu Township will surely be holistic. Even if we don’t settle the entire township in the same area, we will ensure that settlement is organized by village.”

With Nie Zhenbang’s words, the entire populace of Gemu Township felt reassured. Nie Zhenbang’s credibility was beyond question. At this moment, all the people set their hearts down.

Beside him, Zhu Lufeng smiled again, saying: “Director Nie, you’re a good officer. With my many years of traveling and experience, there aren’t many in my memory that I can call good officers. But you, Director Nie, are definitely the first. This is not flattery. Therefore, to express my feelings, I am willing to donate one million to the government for the renovation and construction of schools across the county.”

One million!

Zhu Lufeng’s words stunned the people of Gemu Township. In such a poverty-stricken place, they had never seen such money. If a family in the township had savings of one thousand, it would be considered wealthy. At this moment, everyone in Gemu Township respected Zhu Lufeng. Many who had grown up with Zhu Lufeng were amazed, “Lufeng, you’re rich! A big boss! Donating a million?”

Nie Zhenbang also smiled. Such individuals, no matter what, deserved praise and encouragement. Nie Zhenbang responded: “Boss Zhu, let me thank you in advance for your donation. I heard you’ve bought a plot of land in the Li County Development Zone, intending to invest in a leather factory. This is very good. Secretary Yi, give Boss Zhu your phone number. Once his factory is open, remember to invite me.”

This was Nie Zhenbang’s non-direct way of aiding Zhu Lufeng. This method shouldn’t be underestimated. For Zhu Lufeng, this meant that as long as he operated legally in Li County, no one would dare to bother him.

Zhu Lufeng understood this and responded with a smile: “Director Nie, thank you for your support of us private entrepreneurs. When the time comes, I will specifically invite Director Nie to attend the opening ceremony.”

After returning from Gemu Township, Nie Zhenbang rushed to the Li County Hotel where Nie Jialei was preparing to leave. After spending the past few days alone, Nie Jialei had seen the genuine state of Li County.

The quick response of the Li County officials and Nie Zhenbang’s commitment following the earthquake made a deep impression on Nie Jialei, who could now wholeheartedly admit he was convinced. His loss to Nie Zhenbang made sense; from the very beginning, he was weaker. While he pursued his career and prospects, Nie Zhenbang was for the people.

“Big brother, I’m really sorry about these past few days. Given how busy I’ve been, I haven’t been able to accompany you properly. If you’re not in a hurry, please stay a few more days. After I finish my tasks, I will accompany you properly.” In room 207 of the Li County Hotel, Nie Zhenbang sat on a chair, speaking to Nie Jialei nearby.

The hotel accomodations, though considered upscale for locals, were simply ordinary to people like Nie Jialei.

Room 207 was one of the nicer rooms in the hotel, second only to the small courtyards in the back area. In a suite-style layout, it contained a private bathroom and a roughly 15 square meter living room. The bedroom was also about 15 square meters.

The furniture style within the entire room was reminiscent of the 1980s. Some of it was old, and although it was gradually becoming outdated, it was tidily cleaned.

This made Nie Zhenbang a little satisfied. Liu Zhifang, from the reception of the county committee, was indeed discerning. He recognized that this was his older brother and maintained proper respect.

At this moment, Nie Jialei walked over to the side of the water dispenser, poured Nie Zhenbang a cup of hot tea, and passed it over. He smiled and said, “I’m not staying. I’ve been out for a few days. It’s time to go back. This time, I’ve learned a lot. Little brother, this time, you’ve given me a deep impression and education. Now, I understand why I’m not as good as you.”

Before Nie Zhenbang could speak, Nie Jialei said again, “Little brother, I plan to leave tomorrow morning. Before I leave, I want to talk to you about your marriage and your future plans.”

Marriage? Future plans?

Nie Jialei’s words stunned Nie Zhenbang. Was this his older brother’s idea or was it their father’s? Nie Zhenbang wasn’t sure. And, although he was clear about his future plans, marriage was currently his most bothersome issue, one he didn’t want to discuss.

It seemed that Nie Jialei knew what Nie Zhenbang was thinking and smiled, “The issue of marriage concerns father. The other matter is my idea. You know, children from our compound usually start looking for a spouse at your age. I’ve already settled it on my side, the third daughter of the Chen family. She is the same age as you.”

When Nie Jialei said this, he seemed indifferent, as if he wasn’t talking about his own marriage but evaluating some event. Political marriages amongst families, over eighty percent were like this. The Chen family was quite renowned in Jingcheng. Although the third elder Chen was frivolous and unscrupulous in his youth, he was still a direct line of the Chen family, even though he was now in a bad state. Father made such an arrangement, making it clear that Nie Jialei had already withdrawn from the competition.

After a moment of silence, Nie Zhenbang also said, “I’m not sure what to say about marriage. You are aware of my situation. Right now, I’m stuck in a difficult position. Now, I can only take one step at a time.”

His father’s involvement in his marriage was both good and bad news. The good news being, it showed father’s stance. Officials who were married had an advantage over those who weren’t. Moreover, young people who hadn’t yet got married weren’t taken seriously. Thus, this problem needed to be resolved.

The bad news was, given his complicated love life, Nie Zhenbang was unsure of what to do. If either Dong Wan or An Na were regular people, or even from provincial or ministerial level families, it would have been manageable. However, both of them were from remarkably renowned families. This made things complicated as the country would never allow polygamy.

Subsequently, Nie Zhenbang bitterly laughed, “I really don’t know what to do about marriage. Right now, all I can do is take one step at a time. As for future plans, brother, I have a joke.”

“Oh? A joke? Interesting, let’s hear it.” Nie Jialei asked with a smile.

The joke was about the difference between a Huaxia passport and an American passport that Nie Zhenbang had seen on his phone before his rebirth.

On the Huaxia passport, it says: Please strictly abide by local laws and respect local customs. The American passport, on the other hand, says: No matter where you are, the US government and military will always be your strong backing.

Nie Jialei understood about passports. He knew these were just lies to deceive the common people. The Huaxia passport he had wrote: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of Huaxia requests all military and political authorities of other countries to facilitate the passage of the passport holder and provide necessary assistance.

Nie Jialei laughed and said, “Isn’t this nonsense? The American passport, I’ve seen it too, it doesn’t say anything so pompous. It clearly says: The Secretary of State of the United States of America requests relevant personnel to provide this American citizen/national with unobstructed traffic and legal assistance and protection when necessary. When did the United States become so arrogant?”

However, immediately after, Nie Jialei was surprised and said, “Little brother, you sure are ambitious.”

Nie Zhenbang also became serious at this moment, his face showing confidence and ease. He said solemnly, “Brother, if I get the chance in my lifetime, maybe I will make our Huaxia passport really say this sentence — The Huaxia government will always be your strong backing.”

PS: Brothers and sisters, with Nie’s grand ambition, brothers and sisters are my strong backing. To the brothers and sisters with tickets for the month, please vote for Old Cai. We will also be grand and lofty.
